Our Founder and CEO, David Peters, is an avid runner; give him a pair of kicks and a place to go, and he'll be gone before you can spell out Oatworks. The only problem is that places to go on a solid run in New York, let alone any city, can be quite the feat itself.

That's why, in belated-honor of this year's National Running Day, we'd like to pass on a short and sweet list of The 6 Best Running Routes in New York City. We know on days that the couch seems a little more comfortable than usual, it can be hard to give an effort to be active, so hopefully this helps ease the pain.

Go out, and enjoy scenic paths like every New Yorker's staple route, The Hudson River Run. Whether you take the long or short version, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you stay active, and remain powered by your favorite Oatworks oat-powered fruit smoothie!

Have other routes in mind that we didn't mention? Let us know in the comments below!
